Abstract

A fastening arrangement for a passenger motor vehicle includes an integral support fastened to longitudinal supports of a body of the passenger motor vehicle that are distanced from each other in a transverse direction of the passenger motor vehicle and are disposed above the integral support. An electrical energy store is disposed behind the integral support in a longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle. The integral support has a step on an end that faces the electrical energy store where an upper support surface and a lower support surface are formed by the step. The upper support surface is disposed opposite a crossmember of the body in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle and the lower support surface is disposed opposite a support element of the electrical energy store in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A fastening arrangement for a passenger motor vehicle, comprising:
 an integral support ( 10 ), wherein the integral support ( 10 ) is fastened to longitudinal supports ( 14 ) of a body ( 12 ) of the passenger motor vehicle that are distanced from each other in a transverse direction of the passenger motor vehicle and are disposed above the integral support ( 10 ); and 
 an electrical energy store ( 20 ) that is disposed behind the integral support ( 10 ) in a longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle and that is disposed under a floor ( 24 ) of the body ( 12 ); 
 wherein the integral support ( 10 ) has a step(S) on an end (E) that faces the electrical energy store ( 20 ), wherein an upper support surface (A 1 ) and a lower support surface (A 2 ) are formed by the step(S), wherein the upper support surface (A 1 ) is disposed opposite a crossmember ( 32 ) of the body ( 12 ), which is disposed under the floor ( 24 ), in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle, and wherein the lower support surface (A 2 ) is disposed opposite a support element ( 22 ) of the electrical energy store ( 20 ), which is disposed under the floor ( 24 ), in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle. 
 
     
     
       2. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower support surface (A 2 ) opposite the upper support surface (A 1 ) is displaced towards a rear in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle. 
     
     
       3. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the integral support ( 10 ) is fastened to the crossmember ( 32 ) at a top the integral support ( 10 ) in a vertical direction of the passenger motor vehicle between the upper and lower support surfaces (A 1 , A 2 ) in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle. 
     
     
       4. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper support surface (A 1 ) directly adjoins the crossmember ( 32 ) towards a rear in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle. 
     
     
       5. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower support surface (A 2 ) is distanced from the support element ( 22 ) in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle and wherein the upper support surface (A 1 ) is distanced from the crossmember ( 32 ). 
     
     
       6. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the crossmember ( 32 ) is connected to side sills of the body ( 12 ) at respective ends and wherein the side sills are distanced from each other in the transverse direction of the passenger motor vehicle. 
     
     
       7. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 6 , wherein the support element ( 22 ) is connected to the side sills. 
     
     
       8. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening element ( 22 ) is fastened to the crossmember ( 32 ). 
     
     
       9. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the integral support ( 10 ) has a curved structure ( 26 ) with two front support beams ( 28 ) which extend to a front of the curved structure ( 26 ) in the longitudinal direction of the passenger motor vehicle and extend away from each other and has a rear integral support crossmember ( 38 ) via which respective legs ( 36 ) of the curved structure ( 26 ) are connected to each other. 
     
     
       10. The fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the two front support beams ( 28 ) are connected directly to the curved structure ( 26 ) via respective ends that face the curved structure ( 26 ). 
     
     
       11. A passenger motor vehicle, comprising:
 the fastening arrangement according to  claim 1 .
